Even though they didn't specify the minimum earning for employer applying to hire a nanny, there is a guideline for this on CIC website. What the IRCC agent will use to determine your eligibility as an employer with respect to your earning is LICO - Low Income Cut Off. You will need to go through the LICO list and determine your household threshold based on thr total number of person living with you. Let me give you an example calculation:
- Your total declared household income based on your T4 - assume $60970
- LICO for 5 (i.e 5 people in your household) - $43,791
- Projected annual salary of caregiver based on the contract your are offering - assume $20,592
To determine if IRCC agent will approve your nanny sponsorship application based on your earning:
$60970 - $43791 - $20592 = - $3414

You application will be refused based on your earning - you have a shortfall.

As per your last question, yes as employer you must have business account with CRA. This is how you will be able to remit deductions from your nanny salary to CRA.

Hello,I was qualified for the interview waiver but I went to pick of my passport I got a white paper that i should come for an interview after the interview I was approved I was told to pick up my passport in 3 to 5 working days this was on 2 February. I have not gotten any message. Do I need to go back to my initial pick up location or just wait for the mail thanks

I think you can contact them through the feedback option in her profile and explain to them she was asked to come for a 221g interview and ask them to schedule it. I did it for my daughter years ago when she was asked to come for one and they gave me a date.

Did your mum travel on the last visa she was issued and if she did, how long was she in the US for?

Hello All,

My mum went for the interview waiver program. She dropped off her passport at DHL Victoria Island and picked it upon Friday, 3rd February 2023 with a 221G slip asking her to come to US Consulate General, Lagos for an interview but there was no date stated. The DHL officer asked her to book an appointment via ustraveldocs.com. I tried to book a normal interview for her but we were unable to do that because the portal does not recognise her MRV again.

There is also no followup interview link/pop up on her CGI page.

She went to the embassy with the 221g slip and was told to send a mail to LagosNIV@state.gov but we have not received any response from them.

Please any advise on what to do?
